"Situated in a white building with a glass entrance and five floors of guest rooms, this hotel is nautically themed like its less-opulent sibling next door, the PortsWood."

Room service is offered 24 hours a day, but the staff is a mixed bag, often ignoring special requests.

"Nautical and historical decor including large maps, an antique model ship and a large globe adds a sense of importance to the location.
